Letter "W" » War
"All quiet along the Potomac they say
Except now and then a stray picket
Is shot as he walks on his beat, to and fro,
By a rifleman hid in the thicket."
Author: Ethel Lynn Beers (Ethelinda Eliot)
About: War
"She is a wall of brass;
You shall not pass! You shall not pass!
Spring up like Summer grass,
Surge at her, mass on mass,
Still shall you break like glass,
Splinter and break like shivered glass,
But pass?
You shall not pass!"
Author: Harold Begbie (used pseudonym "A Gentleman with a Duster")
About: War
"Carry on, carry on, for the men and boys are gone,
But the furrow shan't lie fallow while the women carry on."
Author: Janet Begbie
About: War
"Gaily! gaily! close our ranks!
Arm! Advance!
Hope of France!
Gaily! gaily! closed our ranks!
Onward! Onward! Gauls and Franks!"
Author: Pierre Jean de Beranger
About: War
"The inevitableness, the idealism, and the blessing of war, as an
indispensable and stimulating law of development, must be
repeatedly emphasized."

About: War
"All's fair in love and war."
Author: Francis Edward Smedley
About: War
"The history of those who shed those other tears, the history of those anonymous millions, is what Terkel wants readers and listeners to come away with. What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time."
Author: Studs Terkel
About: War
"Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, he began at the moment that it broke out, believing that it would be a great war, and more memorable than any that had preceded it."
Author: Thucydides
About: War
"Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima.... The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East."
Author: Harry S. Truman
About: War
"When every autumn people said it could not last through the winter, and when every spring there was still no end in sight, only the hope that out of it all some good would accrue to mankind kept men and nations fighting. When at last it was over, the war had many diverse results and one dominant one transcending all others: disillusion."
Author: Barbara Tuchman
